About The Position

Gridley Company is a trusted design-build remodeling firm serving homeowners throughout the South Bay for more than 35 years. Our fixed-price approach and attention to detail have helped us build long-standing relationships with clients, trade partners, and suppliers. We're committed to thoughtful planning, accurate budgeting, and setting projects up for success before construction begins. Estimating plays a critical role in delivering on that promise. We are seeking a Construction Estimator to support pricing, budgeting, and project costing across an active residential remodeling pipeline. This role works closely with the design, production, and ownership teams to help build conceptual budgets, scoped proposals, and contract-ready estimates that support successful projects from pre-construction through completion. We are open to candidates from both traditional residential estimating backgrounds and adjacent construction-related financial or job-costing environments. Candidates with experience in construction accounting, supplier pricing, project cost control, purchasing, or subcontractor financial coordination may also be a strong fit if they have the operational mindset and interest in growing deeper into estimating.
